Description
Ilex castaneifolia or Sweet Chestnut Holly is a medium to large tree with a distinctively pyramidal shaped crown. The bright red berries appear in small clusters and are abundant in the autumn following the delicate spring flowers. Ilex castaneifolia makes a lovely evergreen tree. It has large and thick green leaves which are marginally spiky at the edges. It resembles the foliage of Castanea sativa from which it is named.
A great choice for high level screening. It produces a definite and dense screen above the fence line and has the benefit of giving year round interest.
Like many other Hollies, this tree is tolerant of shade and will thrive on most soils, providing they are well drained.
